A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from A Handbook for Apprenticed Machinists

This book is for learners in the use of machine tools, and is the outgrowth of the needs of the Brown & Sharpe Mfg. Co. in the instructing of apprentices. It was felt that there is too much uncertainty in depending upon oral instruction to impart the information in some details which every apprentice is entitled to receive. An experimental edition of this book was printed, and proved useful; the present edition is carefully revised and enlarged, with the hope that it will be still more useful.

A book can hardly be of much help in attaining the skill that is so necessary in mechanical pursuits. Skill is largely a matter of labor and of time, - of unwearied labor and much time. The world of today asks, "What can you do?" The answer to this question also answers all that the world cares to ask about what you know.
